Comments:

I bought this machine from a woodworker moving out of my area. He restored it and was using it on a homemade base he had made, but had acquired this original base. The base still needs to be restored.

There is no motor at current as he used the motor for another machine.

Very clean, seems in good shape, cutter assembly is very clean, knives are almost new with some use on the first sharpening, and he included a second new set of Freud HSS blades. Hard to read the serial number, and the seller is sending me the nameplate which he found when he moved, I don't know if it has the serial number on it or not.

EDIT: got nameplate but there isn't a visible serial number 2nd digit unclear on machine.
